The fundamental difference between liberals and conservatives is why I can’t be a Republican. At the base of liberalism are the views that we should focus on taking care of one another and our planet (.i.e. national health care and sustainable practices), while the conservative base is focused on taking care of “yourself” (low taxes), “your own” (bigotry), and “your wallet” (big business)while ignoring the need and opportunity to enrich other people’s lives and give them the chance to at least live the decent life that we take for granted. And I’m not just talking about here in the United States, but globally. In other words, if you’re not liberal, get with it.
